In My Mailbox #10

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted at The Story Siren. Head on over there to see what's been in everyone's mailbox this week.

It's been a slow couple of weeks, mail-wise, which is absolutely fine. Soon those Cybils nominees will be coming in and I'm sure I'll be overwhelmed. This week I received the entire Blue Bloods series by Melissa De La Cruz. The latest one, The Van Alen Legacy, was recently released and I'm looking forward to giving them a try!

I've heard a lot about these books but am not sure if I want to read them or not so I'm excited to read your reviews.

I also wanted to mention that I really enjoyed your other posts- I'm a preschool teacher by trade so I'm always excited to see how literacy and books can be presented to groups of kids. I'm now a follower as well!
